On July 6, 2026, Bentley named Torcal its new model line and showed a teaser of the car for the first time. The full debut is scheduled for September 23, 2026 in London. Torcal is set to become Bentley’s first fully electric model, but as of July 7 the brand has revealed only part of the information: the name, the model’s place in the lineup, and the presentation date.
What Bentley has already confirmed
In Bentley’s official statement from July 6, 2026, Torcal is described as the brand’s fourth contemporary model line after the Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Bentayga. In the statement, Torcal is presented as a separate model line; Bentley does not call it an electric version of an existing car or a direct successor to another model.
The name continues Bentley’s tradition of drawing inspiration from notable landscapes. Torcal refers to El Torcal de Antequera in Andalusia, an area known for its limestone cliffs and karst formations. On the Torcal page, the company also links the name to the word torque: both words trace back to a root meaning “to twist” or “to turn.”
So far, only a dark teaser of the rear of the car has been published. It shows new taillight graphics and the Bentley badge, but the manufacturer has not yet revealed the full body design, cabin, or dimensions. So any detailed descriptions of the exterior before the September premiere should be treated as observations from industry publications, not as official brand specifications.

What to expect from the September 23 debut
The presentation is expected to include a full reveal of the car and the disclosure of key technical specifications. For future owners, the teaser images matter less than the battery capacity, official range under the applicable certification cycle, peak charging power, charging time, curb weight, and available trims.
Torcal still has no certified range figures. Bentley makes it clear that data on electricity consumption, CO2 emissions, and range for EU countries are still awaiting type approval. That means the numbers already appearing in early reports cannot be treated as the car’s final specifications.
Torcal does not mean Bentley is dropping hybrids right away
The arrival of Bentley’s first EV does not cancel the brand’s current hybrid lineup. In Bentley’s 2025 sustainability report, published in 2026, the company said it had to revise its original goal of becoming fully electric by 2035. It has not yet announced a new final date for full electrification.
For Torcal, that provides useful context: the model will be an important step in Bentley’s electrification, but it will not be the only drivetrain in the range in the coming years. The Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Bentayga continue to form the core lineup, and Torcal’s specifications will become clearer after the September 23, 2026 debut.
